autoPropane. Clean. And Green.

autoPropane is the market leader in alternative fuels for the transportation sector.

It is the most effective and easiest "clean fuel" for fleet operators to implement — and it represents a readily available and proven solution for fleet operators in the light and light-medium duty market.

In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy predicts that propane will be the leading alternative of fuel for the 21st century.

The reason for the world-wide popularity of autoPropane are clean and simple.

Here's an overview:

  1. autoPropane is Cost Effective:
    • 25% less expensive than conventional gasoline
    • 28% less expensive than E10 ethanol-blended gasoline
    • 50% less expensive than E85 ethanol-blended gasoline
    • 11% less expensive than diesel
    • 9% less expensive than natural gas (Ivey 06-08)
    • autoPropane pricing has been, and is likely to be, more stable than gasoline, diesel and ethanol blends well into the future (Iven 06-08)

  2. autoPropane is Clean
    • propane is more environmentally friendly than gasoline or diesel
    • up to 26% less greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) than conventional gasoline
    • significantly fewer emissions of criteria air contaminants and air toxics that impact air quality and human health (Iven 06-08)
    • using autoPropane instead of conventional gasoline reduces particulate matter (PM10) by 40%, nitrogen oxides by 50% and total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions by 87% (Alternative Fuels Vehicle Institute)

  3. autoPropane Makes a Real Difference
    • moving people and goods accounts for 19% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)
    • converting a single high consumption vehicle (i.e. 60,000 km annually) to autoPropane instead of gasoline will reduce greenhouse gass emiessions (GHG) by approximately 1.8 tonnes (Ivey 06-08)
    • converty 60,000 vehicles and reduce GHG by 240,000 tonnes
    • convert 80,000 vehicles and reduce GHG by 320,000 tonnes
    • convert 100,000 vehicles and reduce GHG by 400,000 tonnes

  4. autoPropane Delivers Performance
    • custom designed equipment for every engine platform
    • 100% approved components
    • vehicle starts in all weather conditions
    • closed loop system ensures odour-free operation
    • no horsepower loss - vehicle operation is unchanged
    • no specialized maintenance equipment required.

  5. autoPropane Vehicles Last Longer
    • clean propane is high octane (103) fuel versus "premium" gasoline at 91-93 octane)
    • engines can last 2-3 times longer than gasoline and diesel engines (NPGA 11-06)

  6. autoPropane Vehicles are Safe
    • all components of autoPropane systems are designed, approved and installed in accordance with stringent safety requirements under the jurisdiction of various government and regulatory organizations
    • propane tanks are 20 times more puncture resistant than gasoline tanks (PGAC 09-08)

  7. autoPropane is Readily Available for Your Fleet
    • Sparling's installs turn-key propane refill stations - the right equipment for your specific fleet requirements
    • training is available from Sparling's Instructors for your drivers - or prepare for training in-house with a Train the Trainer program from Sparling's
    • autoPropane programs at Sparling's are structured to provide you with tremendous flexibility (i.e. Price Protection Plan, Pre-Buy), to Guranatee reliable propane supply and Guarantee service 24-7

  8. autoPropane is Proven
    • worldwide, approximately 11 million vehicles -and growing- are running Clean and Green on high performance autoPropane (World LP Gas Association)
